e's one of the 100 richest people in the world and nobody knew, until now.
Richard Cohen (known as Rick) is worth $11.2 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires. Cohen is the chairman, CEO and sole owner of C&S Wholesale Grocers Inc. -- the world's largest grocery wholesaler. He's been living a quiet life in Keene, New Hampshire, where C&S is based. So quiet that even the Keene Chamber of Commerce overlooked C&S as one of the town's largest employers.

“We’re the biggest company no one has ever heard of,” company spokesman Bryan T. Granger told Bloomberg.

C&S was created in 1918 by Cohen's grandfather. At the time it was just a small brick warehouse with three employees that made grocery deliveries to stores around Worcester, Massachusetts. By the time Cohen's father Lester took over the company in 1955, C&S had moved to a 35,000 square foot warehouse. In the 1970's, "Rick" joined the business and the company moved to Brattleboro, Vermont -- sales skyrocketed, reaching $14 million in 1974. According to the C&S website, annual sales reached $1 billion by 1991.

..

So where does an unassuming billionaire put up his feet at the end of the day? Miller says Cohen lives with his family in a modest Keene neighborhood -- though it is the most expensive home in town, valued at about $1.5 million.

Nice try! You do know this is the guy that caused the A&P bankruptcy. Thousands lost their jobs. This guy is VERY conservative, and VERY evil.

Litigation

January 2009: Lawsuits were filed in federal courts in Wisconsin and New Hampshire alleging that C&S and SuperValu engaged in collusion to allocate markets and reduce competition. The charges stemmed from a 2003 asset swap in which SuperValu swapped distribution centers in the Northeast with C&S's centers in the Midwest with suits claiming that each had indicated it would not compete in the other's territory. The agreement raised red flags when C&S closed its newly-acquired distribution centers shortly after the deal.[9][10][11]
December 2010: A&P filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing in court papers that, among other causes, A&P made an "unfavorable" arrangement with C&S where A&P was required to get 70 percent of its inventory from C&S.[12]

They sound like a hard-working family to me, Yurt. Seems their tactic was to give good values to people, who voted with their feet and marched to his store.

@OnePercenter, "... this is the guy that caused the A&P bankruptcy. Thousands lost their jobs. This guy is VERY conservative, and VERY evil."

A and P was a troubled company after enjoying wealth for years. According to Wikipedia, it was Walmart who landed the fatal punch to the A and P fairy tale story:

A&P's decline began in the 1950s when it failed to keep pace with chains which opened larger, modern supermarkets with features demanded by customers. By the 1970s, A&P stores were out of date; its efforts to combat high operating costs resulted in poor customer service. In 1975, the company hired outside management, closing older stores and building modern ones. When these efforts failed to turn the company around, the heirs of the original owners, and foundations that owned a majority of the stock, sold to the German Tengelmann Group. A&P then launched a store-closing program financed by the surplus assets of its pension plan.[11]
Starting in 1982, A&P acquired several chains; these stores operated through their names rather than A&P. While A&P regained profitability in the 1980s, in 2002 it operated at a record loss because of new competition, especially Walmart. A&P closed more stores, which included the sale of its large Canadian division. In 2007, A&P purchased Pathmark, one of its toughest competitors; A&P again became the largest supermarket chain in the New York City area. Highly leveraged after this acquisition, the company experienced financial difficulties because of the recession and filed for Chapter 11 protection in 2010. In late 2011, A&P implemented a restructuring plan to emerge from bankruptcy.[12

According to the link, the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea company has gone from public to private ownership.

I'm sorry they didn't do the right things to stay in business at a profit.
